Michigan child support pleas flood courts

“Parents pinched by the recession are flooding courts across the state with requests for reductions in child support payments,” reports The Detroit News.

“In Wayne County, requests for payment adjustments have doubled. Courts there and across southeast Michigan are prioritizing such cases to expedite relief to strapped payers, officials said. These requests, called modification motions, illustrate the ripple effect of the state’s economic contraction that reaches across multiple households and reduces the dollars available for children.”
